Is this perfectly legal? Just asking.

[Musicman41]

Technically speaking, I do not think this is legal, because you are copying copywrited property.  However, if you only make one copy, and do not give the VHS to anyone else, you are obaying the spirit of the law.  There is also the question of enforcement.  The government has better things to do than to search you house for copied DVD's that you are neither selling or showing publicly.  As long as you dont try to make a profit, I do not think there will be any trouble.

If I have to be nice I'll skip making a comment on this one lol

[look! its man man!]

Haha made this when i was 12 and didnt know much about anything. Oh how things change

I believe this works fine only IF the camera has a video input instead of just output. Most models I´ve seen don´t come with that.

lol i notice you're playing lost on you're camera, and something else on the monitor. Do you actually need the firewire, or would usb 2.0 work? Is it because firewire supports higher data transfer speed or something? Or just that your're camera only has a firewire cable?

[look! its man man!]

its not lost. its wild hogs. IF your camera can import in real time w/ usb go for it

What does a fire wire port look like, if I don't have one can I add one?

[jelte]

just google for it, you can add a firewire card if you want, Laptops usally have firewire build in.
